[Verse 1]
Got your letter in my pocket
And your face stays in my mind
Well, I heard that you had a baby
And I didn't know the child was mine
No, I didn't know that child was mine
[Verse 2]
There have been days when I've gone hungry
There have been nights I've slept out in the pouring rain
There have been times when I spent hidin'
I was scared somebody would call my name
I was scared somebody would call my name
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Well, your husband came to see me
I lied right in your husband's face
I said that I did not love you
And I didn't want to take his place
No, I didn't want to take his placе
[Verse 4]
If you ever go to high top
Remеmber me to Annie Grey
She's got a houseboat down on the river
Sometimes she lets me stay
Yeah, sometimes she lets me stay
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
Don't tell no-one that you saw me
Don't tell nobody that I came around
I'll be leavin' soon in the mornin'
And I won't say just where I'm bound
No, I won't say just where I'm bound
[Verse 6]
Got your letter in my pocket
And your face stays on my mind
Well, I heard that you had a baby
And I didn't know the child was mine
No, I didn't know the child was mine
